Deleted Gmail and Slack from phone for a week: AI assistant Dot keeps work on track

A user shares that after deleting Gmail and Slack from his phone on vacation, he hasn't reinstalled them a week later — and is happier, more focused at work, more present off work, and not behind at all.
The key enabler is his AI assistant Dot: he messages it constantly and now handles his email and Slack responses through it. A real-world case of an AI assistant changing phone habits.
